Renault Talisman – made in Korea, destined for China

It seems that Renault will be launching a new car at the Beijing Motor Show that will be happening next week. It is called the Renault Talisman and it will be the flagship that will set course to boost Renault’s image in China.

Very little is known about the car other than how its rear will look like and that its birth certificate will say Renault Samsung Motors, South Korea. So, is this really a rebadged Renault Samsung SM7? Intriguing, yes?

Chris Ng believes that all cars are made equal, and each one has its own unique story to tell. As such, the ex-advertising man is here doing what he truly loves, which is authoring the allegories and anecdotes of automobiles. Having served time in a motoring mag, he believes there's nothing more sublime than keeping the pedal floored and things burbling in top gear.

That’s a Samsung SM7…aka, a Korean Nissan Teana with a Renault badge….

Renault doesn’t have anything that big in their inventory… and history have shown that they can’t build an appealing ‘big car’ . The last Safrane was a total engineering mess even though the car was pretty refined.
